The weekend is just around the corner, but there's plenty of goodness happening on Thursday that might make you go out before it comes. Brendan Benson has had a successful career as a solo artist as well as during his tenure in the Raconteurs and producing several other artists. On Thursday he heads a solid lineup of talent at the Casbah and is certainly worth checking out. Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers headline the Belly Up, White Hills take over at Soda Bar and Mario Orduรฑo has a great fuzzy lineup with Plateaus and Teenage Burritos at the Tower Bar.
